The Cowbell sketch has been both a curse and a blessing. And yeah, it's still funny. About 80% Christopher Walken, IMO. "Bruce Dickenson" wasn't the original producer, but the guy at SONY Legacy that does our re-issues. He enjoys his fame post-skit. And making gold records after he puts his pants on. Didn’t realize you lifted that line in the Kacey thread. Heh! At least you get to use that once in a while. I can se how it could be a bit of a pain, with people like me bringing it back up over and over. And there are some people that probably only know the song via that which is unfortunate. For old farts like me that’s not a problem, but on the other hand hopefully it also exposed some people to BOC as well. But it’s out in the world, it’s funny and I hope you can take some enjoyment in that too. Cheers, Geoff

How about funny and embarrassing? Back in the mid 70's, I was in a high school band and we were sure to be the next big thing. We played a show at our high school after being offered a recording contract. They brought in a large stage and we had lights, pyro, skeletons, gargoyles and flames. The only thing I really needed was black underwear for when I went into that amazing guitar solo, my black satin pants ripped right up the crotch. Hard to stay cool in that situation.
A few shows later, the bass player goes out for his extended bass solo in the audience and... you guessed it, his cable came out of the amp. Talk about dead air...
Maybe that's why I found This Is Spinal Tap to be so funny. I even got lost finding the stage at a college show. duh!

Ha. I guess I can't assume everybody knows Christopher Walken's lines from the SNL Cowbell sketch by heart. But I do. : )

One band I had through here Had a particular member who was quite possibly one of the gassiest people I've ever known. I mean dude could fart a loud 3-5 second blast on command.. And I do mean like "hey dude, blast one" and he'd be like BRRRRPSqueeeeek. So naturally while doing vocals he lets a loud one go, so I left it in. You couldn't hear it in the mix but in solo you could hear it as clear as the vocals themselves. The band thought it was the best thing ever, so I placed fart samples hidden in all their songs. If you knew where to listen and you were really good at it you might pick out a fart in the mixes.. The band all hasn't found them all. Please tell me this record is on Spotify or something.

Yeah, the board might want to do some critical listening. .wav preferred.

It's not, but I can see if I can post one of the songs.

"Against The Wind". Have any of you, done a variation of the "dummy microphone", in the studio? You know, maybe even a Neumann capsule, in the 58. Or a 58 capsule, in the U87! Chris
